The add-on will be available for download on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system on December 15th in Europe. Mushroom Wars Online will be available for£2.39/€ 2.82.

The original Mushroom Wars title is a fast-paced and accessible RTS, with a quaint, anime-inspired visual style in which players send their cute armies into battle, upgrade their mushroom bases, improve their weaponry and fight skirmishes in close-quarter maps. Mushroom Wars Online introduces several expansions to these features, the most exciting being the ability to spread their fungal domination into the online realm with 4-player online multiplayer support.

“We are very excited to bring Mushroom Wars to the online gaming front,” said Vladimir Starzhevsky, co-founder and CEO of Creat Studios, Inc.“We have received tremendous response from players about the original title and we are proud to provide even more enjoyable gameplay with Mushroom Wars Online.”

Along with the addition of online multiplayer support, Mushroom Wars Online introduces a number of new features to the original title, including local multiplayer support for up to four players. Players can enjoy custom matches against online friends for training and entertainment, or watch others battle from the sidelines to hone their strategic skills. Users can now compare their global rank with others to see how they stack up and keep track of their personal score history. Mushroom Wars Online also allows players to record and replay matches, and share victories with friends by uploading gameplay videos online!
